Nintendo simultaneously appealed to the Clown (Yes, there is one) crowd, and the Inflation/Weight Gain crowd.
And that Crowd is just gonna swell now, I can tell.

Honestly the first thing I heard about Lola was clown inflation and I feared the worst because those two groups are more intertwined than one would hope for asgsjfkfkbd

But honestly inflated or not Lola Pop is a pretty cute character, I really like her design it's fun and adorable. Extreme bonus points for having a name that sounds straight out of an Ace Attorney game.

Personally I love clowns, well love is kind of a strong word, but still. Like, Lola gives me a fairly nostalgic feeling for clowns, like watching The Big Comfy Couch with my sister, watching old Betty Boop and Popeye VHSs from my grandmother, 3 Stooges slapstick esq routines, and all the other 90's renditions of clowns (though they where often portrayed as either annoying or scary looking back). That and IT was my favorite comedy growing up.

I think the idea of her is nice, but I'm not a fan of that kind of clown design.
I just never jive well with overalls, especially if they're overalls attached to parachute pants.

i think it helps that she's more clearly based on french street performing pierrots rather than western style clowns

also helps that she has all the "makeup" on her mask, including the nose

Via Dolce is the name of the stage meaning 'Sweet Street' like you said. While street performing is a popular pastime in France, 'modern' clowns where popularized in the late late 1800's in Italian opera. Though clown outfits where less colorful back then using black and white jumpsuits with Pierrot the sad clown being the most famous example and Koko the clown being on of the last examples of these outfits before the more popular rainbow, suspender variant came about.

1. Add purchasable extra colors.
2. You know when Min Min's left arm becomes part dragon arm? Do the same for the other fighters, but with different styles.
3. Have up to 4 starting ARMS gloves for each character.
4. Include Story Mode and origins!
5. Include Splatfests, but call them Punchfests instead. Splatoon shouldn't be the only one with battles over stupid ideas.

ARMS comic is gonna be made by Dark Horse, whom are respossible for a bunch of video game comic stuff, like Dragon Age, Nazi Zombies, and Mass Effect. They are do the Usagi Yojimbo comics, Buffy comics, and the BPRD (Hellboy) comics. So could be interesting.
